Death by Chocolate

Director – Clay Boyce

February 13-15 and 20-22, 2015

Play description….

Members of the newly renovated Meadowbrook Health Resort are dropping like flies, including famed chef Edith Chiles! On the eve of the grand re-opening, this is not the best advertisement! It’s up to John Stone, the manager, to find the cause and the murderer. Delightfully sarcastic and cynical. Stone finds himself teaming up with Ed Parlor, mystery writer and amateur sleuth, in a wacky race against time. The clues point to a sinister box of chocolates, and the suspects include all the outlandish characters working for the resort. Could it be Lady Riverdale, owner of the resort, and a woman with dark secrets? Or Ralph Deadwood, gym instructor and all around cad? Dick Simmering, the aerobics instructor? Anne, the panic stricken nurse? Or could it be “Sweet Pea” Meadowbrook, overweight and grieving daughter of the recently deceased founder of the resort? Combining all the elements of classic murder mysteries with a scathing satire of today’s health crazes. Cast of show:

Synopsis:
The Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, have very different ideas about love. Elinor is practical and rational- the perfection of sense, while Marianne is emotional and sentimental- the embodiment of sensibility. Their mutual sufferings of fortune and fate bring a closer understanding between the sisters as true love finally triumphs when sense gives way to sensibility and sensibility gives way to sense. Jane Austen comes to life in Paula K. Parker’s sparkling stage adaptation of the beloved novel
